Busch Oils & Lubricants
Genuine fluids straight from Ehrler & Beck stock
Why genuine Busch oils & lubricants are indispensable
- Optimised vacuum performance – Genuine Busch oils are developed specifically for Busch rotary vane, claw, screw and Roots pumps. As a result, ultimate pressure, temperature behaviour and operational reliability remain stable over the long term.
- OEM-tested additive technology – High-quality antioxidants, anti-wear agents and corrosion inhibitors minimise deposits, foaming and component wear even under high continuous load.
- Extended oil service life – Busch lubricants offer high oxidation stability and allow longer maintenance intervals compared with standard industrial oils.
- Reliable protection of sensitive components – The matched lubricant chemistry protects bearings, rotors, vanes and seals against premature wear and thermal stress.
- Traceability & quality assurance – Genuine products are manufactured under batch control and comply with international quality and safety standards.
- Available immediately – Busch oils and lubricants are available with real-time stock levels and ready for dispatch at short notice.

Selection matrix
- VSA series – synthetic high-performance oils for extended maintenance intervals and high thermal stability.
- VSB series – synthetic lubricants with optimised oxidation resistance for continuous industrial applications.
- VSL series – food-grade special oils for applications with increased hygiene requirements and possible incidental contact.
Maintenance interval & analysis
- Longer oil change intervals than with mineral oils are possible in clean process operation.
- Regular oil condition monitoring is recommended, especially in thermally stressed or continuous applications.
- Before changing over from mineral oil to synthetic or food-grade oils, complete cleaning of the system is recommended.
Synthetic oils
Ideally suited for
- Rotary vane and screw vacuum pumps with increased thermal requirements
- Industrial plants with extended maintenance intervals and high continuous load
- Applications with increased demands on oxidation stability, low evaporation and clean pump operation
